A Word to the Friends of
The Elm City Nursery Company
PREPARING a new catalogue is a real pleasure, for
it means that we can greet our friends and customers
who live many miles from New Haven, as well as
those who are our near-by neighbors.
Through these catalogue pages, we take the nursery to
you. We present some of the new plants that have come
into use during the past few years; we remind you of the
familiar trees and shrubs that adorn New England’s
grounds and gardens; and we wish to place the experience
and facilities of our entire organization at your service.
Every year we test many new plants. Not all will be
listed in the catalogue. Should you be interested in plants
that are not listed, please write us — we may have them in
limited quantities, provided they are hardy in New
England.
The nursery business is crowded into a few weeks in
spring — stock must be dug, packed and shipped without
needless delay. Therefore, we will appreciate receiving
your orders as early in the season as possible, so that we
may give you prompt service.
The map on the second cover shows how to reach the
nursery and office. We shall be glad to greet you any day
except Sunday, and a guide through the grounds will be at
your service.
Landscape Department
Experience and knowledge of trees and plants are de¬
manded if a landscape development (small or large) is to
be a success. We offer a practical service in planning and
planting, whether the work involves a small home or a
large estate.
Simple suggestions for home grounds are made without
charge to intending purchasers, but where landscape
problems require special visits, plans, specifications, and
so on, a reasonable charge must be made consistent with
the services rendered.

Evergreen Foundation Planting
Evergreens
All evergreen trees and evergreen shrubs are dug with balls of earth
and wrapped in burlap (technically known as B&B). In planting it is
usually desirable to remove the burlap, although in some cases the strings
may be cut, the burlap rolled back and dropped in the hole immediately
under the roots. The burlap will soon decay.

than the production.

Herbaceous Perennials
Most varieties of hardy plants are thoroughly at home in New Eng¬
land. In spite of the sharp winters, the roots need little, if any pro¬
tection, although a little mulch of leaves or straw is always of benefit.
Hardy Perennials give more genuine satisfaction, because of the freedom
of growth and charm of color, than almost anything else in the whole
plant kingdom.

Hybrid Tea and
Everblooming Roses
While this class of Roses may not be quite so strong in growth as the
Hybrid Perpetuals, the extreme freedom of bloom amply repays the
grower for any extra care that the plants may demand. In our New
England winters, the plants should be heavily mulched with leaves,
straw or litter, or otherwise protected against extreme cold. The Hybrid
Tea Roses are obtained by crossing Hybrid Perpetuals with the tender
Tea Roses. In color, texture and fragrance, the blooms retain all of the
qualities of the Tea Roses, while the plants have in a large degree the
growing characteristics of the Hybrid Perpetuals.

Important to Purchasers
Order Early. We aim to fill all orders as soon as received, but
during the rush season, from April 1 to May 20, delays are un¬
avoidable. This congestion can be largely overcome if you will
cooperate by placing your order early. It will enable us to plan for
the spring rush and give prompt service.
All Orders are accepted subject to the following terms and condi¬
tions of sale:
Prices in this catalogue cancel all those given in previous price¬
lists and quotations, and are subject to change without notice.
Stock Personally Selected at our nurseries will be charged for
according to the value of the plant chosen, irrespective of the prices
published in this catalogue.
Quantity. One to 4 plants of any one size and variety will be
furnished at the each rate.
Five to 24 plants of any one size and variety will be furnished at
the 10 rate.
Twenty-five or more plants of any one size and variety will be
furnished at the 100 rate.
Two hundred-fifty or more plants of any one size and variety will
be furnished at the 1,000 rate.
Terms. Cash with Order or satisfactory references from unknown
customers. All accounts are due and payable thirty days after date
of invoice, and no credit will be extended after the due date, except
by special agreement.
Guarantee. All goods are guaranteed to reach you in good condi¬
tion; mistakes, if made, will be promptly rectified. Accept shipment
and examine and notify us at once should there be any errors. We
do not guarantee continued growth as trees, shrubs, and plants are
living organisms which breathe, drink, and feed, and are liable to
attacks of disease and insects. It is, therefore, impossible for us to
guarantee growth or to be responsible for stock after delivery to our
customers in good condition.
NON-WARRANTY. While we hold ourselves in readiness, on
proper proof, to replace, free of charge, all trees, etc., that may
prove untrue to label, or refund the amount paid, we give no
warranty, expressed or implied, as to description, quality, pro¬
ductiveness, or any other matter of any nursery stock, seeds,
bulbs or plants we sell.
(Signed) THE ELM CITY NURSERY CO.
Woodmont Nurseries, Inc.
Claims. No complaints will be considered that are not made
within five days after receipt of stock.
Packing and Shipping. No charge is made for packing on any
stock purchased at the prices published in this catalogue, or for
delivery to local freight or express companies, from which points our
responsibility ceases. Claims for damage or delay for Goods in
Transit must be made to the transportation company delivering
the goods.
Delivery. Auto-truck delivery within a range of 75 to 100 miles
from our nurseries is quite economical, providing the order is of
sufficient size to make a truck-load. Charges are made according to
the size of the truck and the distance traveled.
No charge is made for local auto-truck delivery within 10 miles of
our nurseries at Woodmont, except when special trips are requested.
